Upload xDrip4iOS to Nightscout Pro

This is for the current documented xDrip4iOS interface. It is not an Android xDrip+ or Shuggah menu guide. First confirm a supported sensor/follower source supplies current readings to xDrip4iOS.

Configure upload

  1. Copy the full HTTPS site URL and required upload credential from Pro Site Settings/Nightscout.
  2. Open Settings → Sharing and Services → Nightscout.
  3. Enter the complete URL and API Secret or a token with the required upload permissions. Do not use a read-only follower token for upload; leave the port at its normal default for Pro.
  4. Use Test Connection and confirm the site opens correctly.
  5. In Master mode, open Settings → Data Source and enable Upload to Nightscout. If using an upload schedule, ensure the current period is enabled.
  6. Compare a newly received reading’s time in the app and Nightscout.

Source and regional limits

Direct sensor support depends on xDrip4iOS’s exact model and regional list. Libre 1 transmitter setups and European Libre 2 direct connections are not universal Libre support. Follow supported systems before changing or buying hardware.

Avoid a loop

If xDrip4iOS follows this same Nightscout site, do not upload its downloaded readings back. A separate destination is a different workflow. A successful connection test proves access, not that a new reading reached the destination.

If upload fails, report xDrip4iOS version, source mode and last successful connection time with a redacted error. This guide does not ask you to change an active sensor session or therapy.
